R56 Works 1/18 model

Anyone got one of these models that are on the MINI site?

https://shop.bmwgroup.com/is-bin/INT...enuHighlight=0

Looks good but I'm wondering who it's made by?

At a guess Autoart ot Koysho (sp) looks good though...

I can't find any other info about it but I'm pretty sure it is more likely Kyosho.

Anyway I just ordered it so I'll let you know. Hopefully it's as well made as the MINI Challenge one they did which is awesome.

Cool! Would you take some pictures and show them to us when it arrives?

Definitely.

I think Kyosho are planning on releasing a plain white version of the previous works model too.

I got it from the MINI site. It was sent from Germany.

It's a dealer edition so they might even have it at your local dealer.

I would have prefered the wheels to have been the polished faces with black insides but it's still a cool model.

It's worth it. The Red Nose Day car is still the best MINI diecast available though.

I got this model from the MINI shop at the Frankfurt Motor show - love it! It's amazing how much detail they go into, even has the JCW strut brace under the bonnet.

Hey! You've just given me an idea!

I'm going to the Tokyo Motor Show next month. So, I might be able to get one of these great models at the MINI stand there!!!
